[quote=Anonymous]There are some great couponing forums on the internet.  Those people do a lot of research and are happy to share.

The key to couponing is knowing what is on sale and of course having your coupons in hand.  It's a different mentality of shopping.  Every week I buy a small amount of perishables--lunch meat, produce, milk, eggs.  But everything else I only buy when it's on sale.

For example, this week HT is having their stock up and save sale.  My grocery budget this week went to individual packages of chips for the kids lunches, K Cups, Granola Bars, and something else...I don't remember.

But my point is...I can't feed a family for a week off of what I bought at the grocery store this week.  But last week, chicken was on sale.  So I spent a good portion of my budget on chicken.  Again, I can't just feed my family chicken 7 days a week, 3 meals a day.  But now I don't have to buy chicken for a few months.  Tomorrow, the new sale ads will start popping up and I'll decide what I'd like to stock up on.

The coupon forums also know when the new coupons are coming out so you can pre-order them from a coupon source or ebay.[/quote]
